PositiveID's FDA-cleared iglucose uses mobile technology to revolutionize the way individuals with diabetes manage their condition. By seamlessly communicating data from glucometers to the iglucose diabetes management portal, glucose readings can be shared with family members and healthcare professionals. This makes it possible to improve care in a cost-effective manner. iglucose eliminates the burden of keeping logbooks and empowers individuals with diabetes to be more engaged in the self-management of their condition. Family members have greater peace of mind; now parents of children with diabetes can receive text messages to let them know their children are testing while at school. iglucose does not require the use of a cell phone or a wireless plan.
iglucose was designed with the needs of healthcare professionals and people with diabetes in mind. It is simple to use and conveniently fits within a pocket or purse. Usability tests conducted as part of the iglucose FDA review process demonstrated 100 percent of consumers were able to use the device regardless of their age. After initial enrollment there are no technology requirements for the end user. Users simply connect their glucometer to iglucose and push a button. The iglucose system creates a variety of reports and communicates according to the user's preferences via online access, email, fax or SMS text.
The iglucose system collects and transmits stored data from a variety of FDA-cleared blood glucose meters such as Johnson & Johnson LifeScan(R), Abbott FreeStyle(R), Bayer Contour (R), and Nipro Diagnostic(TM) True(TM) monitoring systems to a secure database via wireless cellular technology. The Company is continually adding to this list of supported glucose meters. For more information on iglucose, visit www.iglucose.com.
